About Chevron Beads:

Chevron beads, also known as star beads or rosetta, were invented in the late 1400s by Maria Valoveer on the island of Murano, Italy. While Venetian bead techniques often adapt ancient methods, the chevron technique is uniquely Venetian. Chevron beads can have up to 10 layers, with blue being the most common color, while red, green, and black are considered rare. This technique later spread to the Netherlands. The term "chevron" refers to the V-shaped pattern characteristic of these beads.
